Rolex Daytona - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

The watch I've always dreamed of... A Rolex Daytona Zenith El Primero version 6 reversed on the dial as a bonus... Tritium index that perfectly match the immaculate white dial... Thin, elegant and trendy with good racing vibes! A discreet Rolex all things considered... Many thanks to my buddies from San Mateo cars&coffee for guiding me to this choice.

The Daytona is, in my opinion, one of the best-proportioned chronographs with its 40mm diameter and its low thickness. Ideal for my 16.5cm wrist, light and so comfortable, it is forgotten every time I wear it. To make it more discreet and even more comfortable, I wear it on a ZEALANDE bracelet which reuses the Rolex folding clasp or the ORKOS one.

Around 2006, I was asked to consult the brand's catalog to identify a watch style I would like. Not knowing much about the models, materials, or technical specifications, I had a hard time projecting myself and understanding the price. Having been well advised or influenced, I really liked the chronograph style. It was in the same vein as my previous watch. The following year would be my 20th birthday, and a beautiful, timeless gift was taking shape. The notion of investment was also present; my father knew this mo…

I bought this Daytona after regretting having sold my Daytona "John Mayer" (yellow gold green dial -116508) that I could not assume and wear in public, given the somewhat garish appearance and the price of the object ... It was my first gold watch and not the easiest. Having always had an unconfessed attraction to gold watches, I then decided to buy a Rolex day date 18038 36mm yellow gold from 1985 and blue dial. And there, a treat! Perfect size, an unrivaled classicism, the president bracelet with a little stretc…

I just received the brand new 126519 in white gold. This model is magnificent, it marks its territory and paradoxically it is not too flashy except for connoisseurs. The full sub-dials are much more beautiful than on the steel Dayto. It is much heavier than the steel Dayto but the Oysterflex bracelet compensates with great comfort. When trying it on, it is possible to choose between 2 bracelet sizes with the extension system of course. The case is slightly larger than a classic Rolex. Not to be worn anywhere...

Miles have been traveled since the exploits of Sir Malcolm Campbell. The Rolex Daytona with its tachymeter scale and three sub-dials is an icon, transports us into the world of speed sports but with an incomparable elegance. Its dimensions are perfect, its diameter is contained and yet its dial is extremely readable and offers a beautiful balance. Its oyster bracelet is pleasant, of a beautiful finish and extremely easy to adjust

The watch stands out from other Daytonas with its brown bezel and ice blue dial here in the version with diamond baguette indexes. You quickly get used to its weight. The watch is made of platinum. In 2013 when it was released it was the first platinum Daytona and the first Daytona with a ceramic bezel.

If I had to leave only one comment on this platform, it would be on the Daytona 116520, a simply magical watch. No matter the dial, black or white, this watch has given me nothing but pleasure since I bought it from a person who, by pure chance, lived near me. After several weeks of searching, I finally managed to get hold of the rare gem. The first impression is its dominance, and everyone generally talks about it when they put it on their wrist. It was in perfect condition at the time, not to say new, and even af…

Watch that has become legendary thanks to our Italian friends. Perfect Proportion. A watchmaking quest for some. To compare it to another chronograph just as legendary as the Omega Speedmaster, I would say that it is easier to wear. More precious (unfortunately), more waterproof, but less easy to use because the push buttons are screwed. In short, a lot of fun. will be perfect for summer. My preference is for the more discreet dial, which is easier to wear.

This is a 116528 Racing Dial model with a yellow gold case and bracelet with the "panda" sub-dials on champagne. The characteristic elements are the red inserts at the top of the sub-dial at 6 o'clock showing the name of the model, the railway and the chronograph second hand. We can of course find the tachymeter scale on the bezel as well as the crown and screwed pushers to guarantee water resistance. Legendary model this version is from 2001 series K. Comfortable and pleasant to wear bracelet despite its weight, b…
